Dowload PDF flyer The public is invited in the courtyard of MART Rovereto Corso Bettini 43 and to bring electronic devices that can play a sine wave such as laptop PCs, synthesizers, analog oscillators, loudspeaker equipped iPods, PDAs or mobile phones. We(SWO)also prepare devices and software that can play a sine wave for those who does not have these kind of devices or software.

Language technologies are applied to sense and process visitors' speech and support a more natural interaction for example with novel forms of artificial life. Sensors, motion tracking systems, haptic interfaces, and RFID tags enhance visitors' interaction with both the public and the social space. Novel architectures create immersive and configurable spaces. Video feeds are used to mirror and shape visitors' perception and experience of the world, by bridging visible and invisible, private and public, local and remote, past and present. Image processing and display is used to filter and interpret visitors' views and perspectives. Internet technologies are used to connect and support collective practices. Finally, natural phenomena, forms and materials (from electromagnetic waves to liquids) are used to drive the interaction process. Some of the works could fit in several of the areas we have identified. Additional themes span across these areas, questioning artist's and visitor's roles and expanding the boundaries between real and virtual, artificial and natural, action and representation, performance and outcome, interface and content
